Are you loaded, or was that the question🤨⁉️

The loaded question, it's all in how you ask it.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but all of us, sooner or later, we'll run into someone who lives in the echo chamber and demands we answer for why we own a gun. It becomes obvious because we recognize the poison-tipped talking point hidden below the surface.

In his recent op-ed piece in The Federalist, John Lott calls out a May survey reported by NPR and PBS News Hour where it was reported. . .

Americans supposedly believed curbing gun violence was more important than protecting gun rights.

Dr. Lott shows how rephrasing the question from a loaded question to a more balanced, unbiased question reveals a different picture altogether.

Cheers,

On a side note, I also want to point out that in my preparation for this short post, I used ChatGPT to give me a list of 10 commonly loaded questions to use as an example. It refused to do so every time. Only after my 4th attempt did it finally capitulate--but with a caveat. Apparently, AI seems to possess more scruples than Main Stream media.

A degree abroad can boost a student's career when they face many obstacles when it comes to finding a job. In situations like these, online resources are also very helpful. Many students are too busy to do their own work, so they pay someone to take my online accounting class for me. for them, which may lead to them falling behind in their studies without this service. Knowing different cultures and improving productivity are among the many advantages of knowing different cultures. In the event that a young person graduates from college without working before, their situation can be very challenging. Due to the intense labor market for graduates, recruiters generally expect immediate college graduates to have previous work experience.
